Bool is 32 bits, but Don is using UArray. UArray is not parametric in the element type.
Would be nice if it *could* somehow be parametric... but I have absolutely no idea how you'd do that. The transformation is self-evident enough to a human, but how do you explain it to a machine?
Check out the various papers, slides, and talks on NDP/parrallel arrays. There's much discussion on schemes to efficiently pack data types into unboxed arrays.
NDP is like Christmas! So many boxes of goodies to open... but it takes so long to come around... :-(
